Faery Tea

Last September, amidst whispering trees of an enchanted forest clearing, an extraordinary gathering unfolded. Beneath the dappled sunlight, guests were transported into a realm of wonder and magic, where the air was perfumed with the scent of wildflowers and the laughter of fae-folk echoed through the trees.

Upon arrival, attendees were greeted by sprites and nymphs. Tiny faery children danced along winding paths. Tables adorned with delicate china and floral arrangements, set amidst a canopy of foliage, with fairy dust in the air.

Throughout the afternoon, guests were treated to a feast fit for royalty, with delectable delights ranging from dainty finger sandwiches to sumptuous pastries, all accompanied by fragrant teas and sparkling beverages. Guests sat and talked the afternoon away, between games of croquet or badminton.

Faery oracle readings were offered to each guest, as the sun began to dip below the horizon. A fire was lit, and friendships blossomed. Memories were woven like threads into the fabric of the forest and our hearts forever.
